LONDON : WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 20, 1838. In the House of Lords last night the Marquis of LON 72'"DERRY entertained their Lordships with a rambling dis sertation on the past, present, and, what he would re commend, as the future policy of her MAJESTY'S Govern ment in Spain. The Noble Marquis has afforded the 13lintry so many opportunities of ascertaining his peculiar 'lotions upon this rather stale subject—his style of oratory i s so familiar to, and so properly appreciated by, all who take any interest in the proceedings of the August Assem bly of which he considers himself an ornament, and which, in condescending to enlighten, he never fails to amuse by his harlequin displays of statesmanship— that it would be wasting the time of our readers to enter in to a detail of the merits or demerits of his Lordship's I Peeeh. W e must, however, observe,that the Noble Marquis, with his usual felicity on such occasions, contradicted nearly every statement which he advanced against the Spanish po licY of her MAJESTY'S Ministers; and therefore Lord MEL -13411NE, Lord LYNDHURST, Lord CARNAItVON, the Mar quis of LANSDOWNE, the Duke of WELLINGTON, and E arl MINTO, might have spared themselves the trouble ' lf converting a motion, to which no serious objection was Intended to be offered, into a tedious, and to all practical in tents and purposes, very useless debate. The Marquis of i rlinoNnEaav and his Tory compeers, undertook to prove that the British Auxiliary Legion had been more ser ;leeable t o t h e C ar li s t th an th e C ons tit ut i ona l cause i n 13 aio• If th e ir Lordships be sincere, this will account fo r the surprisingly warm interest which they a pp ear t o ta ke e r in the question of the speedy adjustm en t o f th e i r ims ; albeit not the most forcible that could be em "Yed in a negociation with the Madrid Cabinet. But /t ill' thou complain so angrily of the base and perfidious conduct of the Spanish Government ? There is surely noth ing so very strange in the fact of an Adminis aAt• to 1 ' 3 1. 0 pressed for money giving the precedence tue claims of such of its creditors as were r eally ser v i cea bl e t o it, over o th ers h av i ng on ly dis e"vices t o p l ea d . I n t h e next p l ace t h e " I s l e o f D ogs ' Ex pedition" was ridiculed by their Lordships as one which ex cited the risibility not only of England but of Europe a s an expedition universally known to be opposed to the ashes of England ; and yet, in the very same breath, they ; 11 T I °red the disgrace which its results had brought upon a : arms of England Ought they not rather to rejoice that their idol, Don CARLOS, has triumphed, supported, li zi s t hey represent him to have been, by the moral ()pi !" of the majority of the British people. Were the Le such as they have described it, how was it possible 14 it to bring:disgrace upon the arms of any country ? But t he whole of the statements made by the Tory Peers last , b , i ght, are so many idle assumptions. The British Auxi liary Legion, notwithstanding the Spanish Government's sh ameful neglect of its just claims, rendered most invalu -Ile service to the cause of the QUEEN and Constitu ‘°llikl. On its first landing at San Sebastian, it gall an tly e 'eeked the victorious career of Don CARLOS in the b a '"e3 ; and never s i nce th a t ti me h as th e Pretendere ab le to recover the influence which he then lost. It is h er e Moon s hi ne t o ta lk o f t h e P reten d er as b e i ng more for dable no w th an h e was i n 1835.

It would be seen, however, that the second I ng was put off at the request of Sir JAMES GRA forlt) who thought that more time should be given th considering- the measure. The Vice-President of 13 0ard of Trade, who has charge of the Bill, th 4 a ci t i Y assented t o th e H o n.

There is absolutely and confessedly ar( r• The whole correpondence, commercial,political, civil, 3 °64 of this great s country might, if such should be the pleasure of the Railway Directors, be left to crawl forward at the rate of 7 or 8 miles an hour—if so much—while on the Railways it might travel at 40 or 50. Is such a state of things to be tolerated ? It may be said that this is not likely to take place, as Railway Companies will be satisfied with a moderate compensation for the transmission of the mails. That may or may not be so ; but a matter of such national importance should not be left to chance, or to the arbitrary decision of a few private individuals, however respectable. To make the Post-office Establishment effective, it is necessary that its arrangements should not be subject to any extraneous influences. It must have the power of carrying its plans into effect, in dependently of all such influences, otherwise they would be liable to perpetual derangement, and instead of that regularity and order in the transmission of letters, which are the very essence of the benefit to be derived from such an establishment, there would be nothing but confusion and disappointment. With respect to the provisions of the Bill, we see nothing that can reasonably be found fault with. It is quite clear that the Railway Companies can sustain no loss by the proposed plan, as full compensation is to be given for tear and wear, and for any services that may be required by the Post-office, should it employ its own engines and carriages. Perhaps it might be as well in such cases to allow something for the use of the Railway, but this we do not regard as a matter of right, but rather as an inducement to the Companies to co-operate cordially with the Post-office. The Earl of MuLuaAvis to be made Marquis of NORMANBY ; and well does the Noble Earl, for his wise government of Ireland, and for his humane administration of Jamaica, deserve that and all the other honours which his SOVEREIGN can bestow. Of course the Noble Earl is not the only person who is to be promoted on the oc casion of our SOVEREIGN'S Coronation ; and we hope speedily to be able to announce the names of those whose merits, like those of the Noble Earl, are to be deservedly rewarded. The Canterbury tragedy gave rise to a brief discussion in the House of Lords last night, in consequence of a pe tition presented by Earl STA stiorE, signed by the Chair man and Secretary of the Democratic Association of London. Their Lordships refused to receive the petition, though from the report of their proceedings, we do not exactly understand why. It was humbly worded according to form. It was tendered only as the petition of those who signed it, and it prayed their Lordships to suspend or alter the law which their Lordships, in concurrence with the other States of the realm, perform daily. The only reason assigned for rejecting it was, it prayed for that which the Lords could not do. Why, there is scarcely a petition presented to them which may not be rejected on the same ground ! The Lords cannot of themselves, for tunately for us, alter any law ; and every petition which asks them to do that, asks an impossibility, as much as the petition of thz, , Democratic Association. They can, how ever, in concurrence with the other House, and with the Crown, alter or suspend any law they please. The Legislature could, for example, pass an Act--and such Acts have been passed, to put off the summer Assizes at Maidstone, for three or six months. We do notrecommendsuch a proceeding,but it is within the compass of the power of Parliament. The petition then did not ask the Peers to do an impossibility any more than any other petition which asks them to alter a law, without adding, " in concurrence with the other estates of the realm," and to reject it on this ground was most fal lacious. The true reason for rejecting it appears to us to be, if we may pry into the motives of their Lordships, was because it blamed the Magistracy, and the Peers would gladly burke the whole subject. The men committed to prison are to be immediately tried, while the sentiment of horror at the murder committed by their mad leader is warm in the public mind, by a tribunal which will take no cognizance of the conduct of the Magistrates ; and any extenuating circumstance arising from their gross negligence, and still grosser ignorance of what was going on in their neigh bourhood, will be carefully, except as the Press may bring it to light, kept out of view. We can see no reason why the conduct of the Magistrates should not be imme diately investigated as well as the men tried, so that all the extenuating circumstances of the men's conduct may at once be established, and justice done to both parties at the same time. Instead of rejecting the petition, it would, in our opiniOn, have been more in accordance with the character erewhile boastingly assumed by the peers of " Tribunes of the people," had they immediately granted that part of it which prayed for a Committee to investigate all the circumstances of the case. In truth we have no recollection of any matter which mere imperiously calls on the Legislature for prompt and searching investigation. For years, aye, forages, has the Esta blished Church been maintained in opulence and power, to the suppression of agricultural improvement and the ruin of the agriculturists—to the grievous vexation of large classes of dissenters, to the curtailment of the public liberties, and to the great political damage of the whole empire—on the ground that it promoted the sound religious knowledge and morality of the people. The Peers, both lay and spiritual, have over and over again asserted thus much, and have conjured the nation to be patient under numerous privations, while they have strenuously resisted all attempts at im provingthe Church, because it was so super-eminently, beau tiful, and beneficial. They, too,have most strenuously upheld the system of parson magistrates and unpaid justices who both preserve game and administer the law, because that system is all that is wise, virtuous, and free. But here arises a series of events which, in conjunction with many other simi lar series, but more striking and more convincing, not to say appalling, because the country is perfectly tranquil, because they happen in a most beautiful and highly-cultivated district, one of the earliest civilized in the land, the seat of th e Primate, and the very heart of the Established Church, abounding in churches, parsons, and squires, and baring an agricultural population—or abounding in all the requisites to give perfection to the system upheld by the Peers ; here, we say, arises a series of events which demonstrate at once, and by a shorthand mode, the fallacy of that vexa tious system which the Peers have told the nation to be patient under, and these legislators not only refuse to in quire into those facts, but kick out the petition which humbly implores them to inquire. That there is in the vague and untangible doctrines of the Church, together with the care taken by the clergy to check the progress of tangible knowledge, something which encourages fanati cism, and which therefore demands the solemn investiga tion of the Legislature, which upholds that Church to the oppression of all the Dissenters, both of England and Ireland, receives confirmation from the following curious fact, men tioned in a Liverpool paper, Liverpool being, as is well known also, a place where the Established Church has great influence : But if their (Courtenay's victims) ignorance and want of education alone are to be blamed for their credulity, how is it to be accounted for that there are men on the flags of the Liverpool Exchange, men of property and fortune, men who, as far as money could buy education, have had it freely bestowed upon them, men keen in matters of busi ness and shrewd in buying and selling and in the management of all worldly affairs, but who yet are as decidedly lost in the maze of fanati cism as the most untutored peasants in the land ? It is well known, we are assured, that there are such men, more than two or three, indeed several, who call themselves by the mysterious appellation of " the Can dlesticks of the Church," and who, not satisfied with waiting for others to perform miracles before them, have themselves attempted to work them, and, as their friends assure us, with complete. success. The Peers may hoodwink themselves,—others they will not be able to hoodwink, who will only see the clearer how the Peers flounder on in wilful blindness. Of the other prayer of the petition we must express our decided disapprobation. To delay the trial would be only to detain the deluded men in prison. Those who compas sionate their unhappy situation, and are aware of the im practicability. of getting justice unless by means of money, (justice being, in truth, owing to the neces sity to pay fees to attorneys, counsel, and courts, as much sold in this free land of ours, as* if the judge openly received a sum of money for his decision) — those who are aware of the poverty o f t h e un h appy v i c ti ms of that fanaticism which our richly-endowed Church does more to encourage than repress, should probably subscribe amongst them, to procure the men committed to Maid-' stone gaol the means of buying justice. To enable them to hire the sharpest practitioner that can be found amongst the attornies, and the most acute, industrious, and boldest counsel who plead in the criminal courts, is at present the practical way in which they can be best served ; and it is neither desirable for them individually, nor on acccount of the precedent, that the trial should be postponed by as Act of the Legislature. We have received the whole of the Paris Journals of Monday, but their contents are of no political interest. An nexed are a few extracts : Letters from Constantinople of the 26th May, say that at that date the Turkish fleet was still at anchor in the Bosphorus. The influence of Admiral Roussin is very great at Constantinople. It is to that the maintenance of the statu quo with respect to Egypt may be ascribed ; and the Belgian Legation which has just arrived, with M. O'Sullivan at its head, cannot fail to profit by the favourable position of the French Ambassador. TOULON, JUNE I3.—The Volligeur, a first-rate brig, commanded by Captain Berard, has received to-day instructions from Paris. This vessel is going to the Gulf of Mexico; she put to sea at two o'clock. The Vantonr which will leave to-day with the envoys of Abd.el-Kader has likewise very urgent dispatches for the Marshal, and the news of the votes of credit which have just passed the Chamber, which the tele. graph announced at Toulon two days ago. The Indienne cor vette, and the Meliagre brig, were put into the road this morning. The Indienne is to sail in two days for Mexico. The repairs of the Montebello are proceeding rapidly. Great exertions are making that this ship may be ready for sea very shortly. It is believed that it joins Admiral Lalandes' squadron at Tunis. The Islcdca fri. gate, which lately arrived from Lisbon to take on board its new Cap. tain, M. Leray, will sail in a few days, and will carry anchors and various articles of tackle to the Suffren at Cadiz. It is thought that the Suffren will come to Toulon to complete its repairs, and will make part of the African squadron.—Lc Commerce. FRENCH FUNDS.—PARIS, JUNE 18. Five per Cents.. 110 f. 00c. 85c.

At half_ past five, when the steamboat left, the whole ship was nearly consumed.

The following important intelligence from Mexico is copied from the Second Edition of the Times of this morn ing:— CONTINUED BLOCKADE OF THE MEXICAN PORTS. FALMOUTH, JUNE 18.—The Delight packet, Lieutenant Lory, arrived this morning from Mexico and the Havannah, having sailed from Tam pico on the 3d, Vera Cruz on the Bth, and from the Havannah on the 22d of May. This vessel brings a full confirmation of the active blockade of the Mexican ports by the French squadron, which cons. menced on the 16th of April, and was maintained vigorou,ly up to the Delight's sailing, although not a gun had been fired by either party. Only one vessel (the Anna Eliza from New York, with a cargo of cocoa, cinnamon, &c.,) had succeeded in getting into port, and five others, two of which were Mexican, two French, and one British, had been stopped in making the attempt, and sent to Sacriticios, where they were guarded by the Herminie French frigate. The Government still persisted in refusing to accede to the terms of the French, and appeared to be well supported by the majority of the people in that resolution, although it was daily becoming more and more evident that the principal resources of the Trea sury—viz., the receipt of duties from the custom-houses—would be cut off. The country was kept perfectly tranquil, though seve ral propositions had been made in Congress for the expul sion from the Republic of the French residents, and for the prohibition of the produce and manufactures of France under any flag whatever. By a law recently passed in Congress, the former extra duty of 1 per cent. on valuation had been revived for the purpose of repairing the Mole at Vera Cruz and other public works. This duty was formerly charged 2l per cent. on the amount of duties ; but on the principles of the new tariff would be equal to 3 1-3 d per cent, on the importation duties. The Delight has brought a freight of 315,000 dollars from Mexico, and the Alert packet, from England, was entering Vera Cruz as she left. The privileges of the packet service were fully recognized and respected by the blockading squadron. The merchants on the coast were of opinion that the French, if they maintained their blockade, would ulti mately compel the Republic to come to terms from the privations they would cause, although their demands were universally considered most unjust. No conducta had recently reached the east from the intertor. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, 1838. THE DUTY ON MOLASSES. The views of Mr. Pease in proposing, in the House of Commons on Friday last, that the duty on Molasses imported from the \Vest Indies should be raised from nine shillings to a duty of 243. per cwt., were evidently two-fold; he con tended that nine shillings per cwt. duty on Molasses was insufficient, because the sugar mixed in the Molasses very much exceeded the weight on which this duty was computed—he argued that the Government was aware of that fact. He had been told that, at the recommen dation of the Customs, about three years since, the Govern ment had directed Dr. Ure to test, by actual experiments, the molasses contained in several hundred puncheons under deten tion; and the result showed in some instances 701 b. of sugar_ others 651 b., others 601 b., but in none so little as the proportion estimated by the Gouernment, as the basis on which to com. pute duty. With this information before the Board of Trade, obtained by a disinterested party—proving, beyond th e pos sibility of doubt, the evasion o f d u ty— an d against the remon strances of some of the sugar refiners, an order was sent to the Customs by the Treasury to liberate the whole of the Mo lasses under detention. Extraerdinary as such a pro ceeding must appear to the public, yet it is a fact which stands recorded on the Custom-house books. From that period to this, all molasses have been entered for con sumption, without that strictness of investigation which the case positively requires. The afore-named transaction hap pened in the port of London, where the officers are particu larly vigilant and zealous in the performance of their duty, and where their numbers enable them to scrutinize closely, and to see that the laws are obeyed ; had the like occurred in some of the outports, where from bad economy the officers of the ens_ toms aro unduly diminished, it is easy to suppose the importation would have been made without detection. To prevent this eva sion of duty was Mr. Pease's first object ; his second was to 'en able the Government to return on all the exported produce of the refineries exactly the same amount per cwt. which is paid as duty, and by taxing sweet in solution the same as sweet in crystal, to prevent the exportation of molasse s , which had paid a 93. duty only, as a part or parcel of the 1121bs. of Muscovado sugar which had paid 245. per cwt., and to which amount the treacle from the latter would be, clearly entitled as a drawback, provided the bounty of 439. 2 , 1. on the cwt. of double refined sugar were reduced to 245. per cwt. The consequence is, that Mr. Clay will have to propose to restrict the refineries to the exportation of the treacle actually resulting from the refinement of the raw sugar placed in their hands by the Customs. An average of the three experiments on British Plantation sugar made by Dr. Ure, gives 17 lb. 10 oz. of treacle from each cwt. of Muscovado, but as he had many difficulties to contend against, it will be fair to suppose that part of the loss he exhibits by dirt and waste, viz., 7 lb. 5 oz. each cwt. of raw sugar, would have been saved, and would have been classed under the head of treacle ; taking this saving at 2 lb. 5 oz. leaves 5 lb. for dirt—the treacle may therefore be put at 20 lb. front 112 lb. of Muscovado sugar. EAST INDIA HOUSE-(THIS DAY.) A Quarterly General Court of the Proprietors of East India Stock was held this day at the Company's House, in Leadenhall.street. Sir JAMES L. LUSIIINGTON in the Chair. The minutes of the last Court were read, and confirmed. The CHAIRMAN acquainted the Court that the warrants for payment of the dividends on the Company's Stock, would be ready for delivery on Friday, the 6th of July next. Mr. BURNIE brought up the report of the Committee on the bye-laws. Sir C. Foanns complained of the Directors not having called the at tention of the Proprietors to the China Bill now before the House of Commons, and the East India Labourers Bill, now before the House of Lords. The CHAIRMAN said neither of those Bills had as yet arrived at a stage ,hat would render such a proceeding necessary. Mr. WIGRAM defended the course pursued by the Directors. CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) SAUNDERS V. SMITH. The further arguments in this appeal motion were proceeded with to day. The case came before the Court upon appeal from the decision of his Honour the Vice-Chancellor refusing to grant an injunction restrain ing the defendant, Mr. Smith, from publishing the first Part of his second volume of Cases in the Common Law Courts. The grounds on which the injunction was sought were that the work was a pi racy on the Term Reports published by the plaintiff. The arguments had not concluded when we left. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) EAMPSON V. SMITH. The . arguments in this case were concluded to-day. This case came before the Court, upon motion, for an injunction to restrain the defendant from working a stcam.engine in the manner he bad done, since March last, by which the plaintiff, who was a draper, in Princes-street, Soho, was materially injured, in consequence of the smoke that came from the chimney belonging to the engine. His HoNoua granted the Injunction on the terms asked, upon the understanding, that the parties might come on Friday to modify it. His HoNourt rose shortly after one o'clock, and will not sit again till Friday. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY•) THE QUEEN V : DEAN AND OTHERS, This was a prosecution at the instance of the Loon CHANCELLOR against Thomas Dean, Abraham Slade, John George Ansdell and Maria his wife, Win. Ansdell and Harriet his wife, and Mary Grant, for a conspiracy, by which they had obtained 37,000/. out of the Court of Chancery in a snit then pending relative to the will of a person named Henry Isaac, who died about the year 1780, leaving two sons, Benjamin and Joseph. The dispute arose as to the legitimacy of the sons of Joseph, and the case has been very frequently before the Courts. The Attorney• General, the SAicitor-General, Sir F. Pollock, and Mr. Wightman, appeared for the prosecution. For the defendants, Sir W. Follett, Mr. Erie, Br. Fitzroy Kelly, Mr. Crowder, Mr. Cockburn, Mr. Butt and Mr. Halamb. The ATTORNEY. GENERAL ,fter opening the case, said he should not press it against Mary Grant, and a verdict of acquittal was therefore taken as to her. The examination of witnesses was then proceeded with. The case is expected to occupy two or three days. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY. JOHN V. HOOPER. Mr. PLATT (with whom was Mr. Butt) stated that this action was brought to recover the sum of 151., the balance of a sum due for board and lodging from the defendant's wife. It appeared that a number of years ago Mr. Ilooper married and lived for a few years with his wife. He afterwards chose to turn her off, and live with another woman. Mrs. Hooper went to live with her father, but on his death she was re duced to great distress, and the plaintiff who had married one of the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Hooper, took the latter into his house, in order to save her from starvation. The plaintiff had protected and taken care of her, and being refused compensation, now asked it from a Jury. —He then called Amelia Sims, who was examined by Mr. BUTT.—Witness knew Mrs. Hooper, who was her husband's cousin. Mr. and Mrs. Hooper were married nearly 40 years ago. They had two daughters. He lived with her some years, when they separated, but she had lost sight of them for many years. Mrs. Hooper was taken down to her father, who was now-dead. Francis Sims, examined by Mr. PLATT.—Was brother to Mrs. Hooper, who had been married 35 years ago. Mrs. and Mr. Hooper lived together at Pentonville for several years. She went down to the country upon the illness and death of her mother, and on her return she found that Mr. Hooper had another woman living with him. They then separated, and witness had never spoken to him since. On the death of her father Mrs. Hooper continued to reside in the village with her two daughters until their marriage. He lost sight of her for a long time, and the next time he saw her, she applied to him in great distress. His wife took care that she wanted for nothing. Mr. Hooper was a clerk in the India House. Cross_examined—Witness was not present when his sister found another woman in the house, and only knew it from hearsay. Thomas Jennings, a blind man, examined by Mr. PLarr—Was a coal dealer, and had been blind ten years. Mrs. Hooper came to lodge at his house about five years and a half ago ; she then came out of Bishopsgate workhouse. While she resided with him Hooper often came, and witness told him that the ten pounds he al.. lowed his wife would not make up five shillings a week which he wanted for her board and lodging, and he said he would make it up every half year. He was losing money, and he wished her to go. She then went to her brother's house. Cross.examined.—Hooper told him that all he had to depend upon himself was an annuity of 50!. left him by his father, and he made an allowance of 10/. On one of the occasions when he called along with the woman who lives with him, he asked Mrs. Hooper if she wonld come back and live with him, and he would then give the other woman her discharge. Mrs. Hooper said as he had lived so long with another, and had a large family by her, it was unlikely that he would erer make a bed-fellow of her again. The other woman was present, and fell into fits. -- John, a brother of the plaintiff; had also married the other sis. ter. In 1333, he saw Mr. Hooper, and an arrangement was made that he should allow her JO/. a year, by which arrangement she was taken out of the workhouse. After failing in keeping a school she went to reside with his brother, where she lived as one of the family.. Th c woman who lived with Hooper was a married woman, and had an allow. once of 1001. a.year. Mrs. Hooper was a very infirm old woman, and could not be maintained under 20/. a-year. Cross-examined--Mrs. Hooper received 5/. every half year, and paid hover to his brother. The allowance of 100/. to Mrs. Bedwell was withdrawn. John Newman had boarded and lodged with the plaintiff in January, 1837. Mrs. Hooper was residing there at that time. He would not suppose 25/. a.yezr too much for her board and lodging. Richard Fleming fitted up a bed-room for Mrs. Hooper when she went to reside with the plaintiff. He had seen the manner in which she was treated, and he thought 25/. a-year would be a very reasonable recompense for her maintenance. This was the plaintiff's case. Mr. HUMPORCY addressed the Jury for the defendant, and contended that, according to the cases in the books, the husband was not liable for necessaries to any person who was aware that the wife had a separate maintenance. In the present case the plaintiff had a perfect knowledge of the separate allowance. As to the question of the amount of that separate maintenance, the jury were to bear in mind that the defendant was old —nearly blind, and had only 50/. a-year, to keep himself a nd a family of children. Out of his pittance, surely the 10/. was an adequate allowance. Again, it was in evidence that the defendant had been willing and was anxious that the wife should return. It had been laid down in the case of Hind_ ley v. the Marquis of Westmeath, that under such circumstances the husband Was not liable to be sued by any tradesman who gave her credit. With these observations he would leave the case in the hands of his Lordship and of the Jury. His LCTDSHIP summed up, and left it to the Jury to say whether 101. was a sufficient allowance for the innocent wife, while the guilty and immoral husband was enjoying 4el. out of his income. The Jury almost immediately returned a verdict for the plaintiff, with 151. damages, being at the rate of 20/. a-year. His LORDSHIP ordered the amount of the verdict, and 20/. for costs, to be paid into Court within a month. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THISDA Y.) OLD-COURT. James Cross was indicted for feloniously uttering a forged cheque for 71. 10s., well knowing the same to be forged, with intent to defraud John Richard Blackburn. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner lived as coachman in the service of J. K. Clement, Esq., a gentleman of independent property residing in Essex, and that he went to the shop of the prosecutor, a linendraper, and ordered some goods, value 2/. 10s., for which lie pre sented the cheque in question, and Mr. Clements stated that he left his cheque book where the prisoner might have had access to it; that a leaf had been torn from it; that the cheque produced was the leaf he had lost; and that lie had not written a word upon it. The jury returned a verdict of "Guilty of utteting." Mr. CLEMENT recommended the prisoner to mercy. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. There is very little English Grain fresh up this morning, but several new vessels have arrived with Oats from Ireland. Not having much Wheat for sale to-day, the factors demanded higher prices, and rather more money than Monday was obtained. In Barley, Beans, and Pease there is little doing. Oats are more firm than of late, and Monday•. prices have been well supported. The advance on Flour is maintained with a moderate demand. ARRIVALS I Wheat. Barley. Osts.

The following has been received at Lloyds : VERA CRUZ, 24Th APRIL; Sia s — We have the honour of stating for the information of the Com: mittee of Lloyds, that the long talked of blockade of this port by the French naval force, was put in force on the 16th of this month, which measure was officially notified to the different Foreign Consular Agents, by the French Consul, there being no prospects of an amicable adjust ment of the existing differences with, and claims of the French Govern ment, without the intervention of an European Power. The French Legation has left Mexico and embarked on board the Herminie frigate, still at anchor at Sacrificios. _ In our usual list you will find the vessels which have been detained or sent to Sacriflcios, by the blockading vessels. The New York Packet, Ann Eliza, was fortunate enough to reach the port without being warned off. Her Majesty's Packets are allowed to entbr and leave our ports, without being molested or interfered with. (Signed) PENNY & CO., Agents for Lloyds. W. Dobsen, Esq., Secretary at Lloyds. The Earl and Countess Cadogan have issued cards for a grand dinner party on the 29th instant. His Excellency Count Gustave de Lowenheim, Ambassador Extraordinary from the Court of Sweden, has arrived at the Burlington Hotel, Burlingtan.street. His Excellency is accompa. niad by Count Pouche and Count de Knifing. Count de Lown, Count de Posen, and Count Charles de Brude, are expected to.day at the above hotel. We understand that the special embassy, of which the Prince de Ligne is the chief, has been charged by King Leopold to present the diploma and cross of the order of Leopold to Col. Sir Max. well Wallace, sth Dragoon Guards, or Princess Charlotte of Wales's regiment. Sir Maxwell Wallace is brother to Mr. Wallace, the Mem ber for Greenock. The report of an intended Review on the 2d of July is altogether unfounded. Such an arrang-mcnt was quite un. likely, Government having given its full sanction and support to the Musical Festival in Westminster Abbey, fixed to take place on the above.named day. It has been stated that the lamented Lieutenant Bennett, who so gallantly fell in the unfortunate rencountre with the fanatic Courtenay, was the son of a late Judge of that name of Demerara.

QUEEN MARY'S SEAL.--One of the most ex traordinary instances of the manner in which things long lost arc some times recovered has just been made known to us. The unfortunate Mary Queen of Scots was married to the Duke of Norfolk, and the joint seal they caused to be made on the occasion has now been found. The relic, according to an advertisement in our Paper this day, is now offered for sale, and well does it merit the investiga. tion of the curious. It lies beyond our province to pronounce an opinion on the genuineness of such a jewel; but the nice workmanship, the antique cutt - ng, the quaint devices, all tend to justify the opinion that this is the genuine seal which Mary and Norfolk had made on their marriage. A history of its adventures would pro. bably be more amusing than most fictions. \Ve understand that the Deputation from the Merchants and Traders of the City of Dublin to remonstrate against the renewal of such a charter to the Bank of Ireland as would deprive Dublin of :the advantages of freedom of banking, we have not the least doubt that a deputation coming from such a body will re. ccive every attention; and as they have a just cause, it is almost cer— tain that their patriotic (zealous will be crowned with complete success.
